OP, Enzo
the Dv600 is old pc and is not even the full model number.
I guess you meant" DV6000 series of laptop?
It turns on the fan blows air, the screen is black, windows if windows login never shows up. and you only get white on black text errors, and the words boot.
that means the HDD ,hard disk drive is bad, or the OS is corrupted
and the former surely causes the latter like night becomes day.
what any shop does, is test the HDD next
or spend weeks loading new OS on a dead or weak HDD.
to test the hDD is not hard, or magic,
we do this.

btw: the most DV6000 all have dead backlamps CCFL) now.
so in a way you are lucky the screen glows. at all.
id retire it . no CCFL PC needs to be wasting hard cash on.
ECON101 Idea.?

SOURCE: I am trying to connect my HP Pavillion dv600 to

Make sure the computer is connected to any port from 1 - 4 on the router.

The modem should be connected to the WAN/Internet port of the router.

On your computer, access the setup page by using a web browser. In the address bar, type 192.168.1.1.

Leave the username blank and then the password is admin.

The settings on the router differs depending on your ISP.

If you have cable connection, the Internet connection type should be Automatic configuration or Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP).

If you have DSL connection, usually the internet connection type is PPPoE. You will need to enter the username and password provided by your ISP.

If you are not sure of your connection type, contact your ISP.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I think you can try these steps to isolate the problem on your machine and also it may help you resolved the problem for your battery being not detected.

Perform Hard Reset

Performing a hard reset erases all of the information that is stored in the temporary memory and forces Windows to do a complete scan of the system, including the battery.
To perform a hard reset, follow the steps below.

1. Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC and remove the PC from any port replicator or docking station.

2. Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment.

3. Press and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors.

4. Once started, insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook PC.

5. Press the power button to turn on the notebook PC.

6. Use the arrow keys to highlight Start Windows Normally , if it is not already highlighted, and then press the enter key.

Use the software HP Battery Check to test the battery, Once you have login to your PC. If its not working try this.

Resetting the BIOS to default settings

Resetting the defaults in the BIOS removes any possible incorrect valves and returns the BIOS to a known good condition.

To reset the BIOS defaults, follow the steps below.

1. Press the power button to turn on the notebook and repeatedly press f10 to enter the BIOS setup.

2. Navigate through the BIOS and select the option to restore the BIOS defaults. The option will have words like Restore Defaults or Setup Defaults .

3. Confirm that you want to restore the BIOS defaults, and then select the option to save and exit the BIOS setup.

Use again the Battery Check to test the battery. If those steps does not work you try this last step.

Update the BIOS

If resetting the BIOS default setting to the original condition does not resolve the problem, look for and install an updated BIOS. Just go to this link to download the updated BIOS for your machine and choose your Operating System.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3224055&

If happens those steps did not work mostlikely there is already a problem with the connector of your battery inside the machine.

Hope it helps.

Hp pavillion ze 4300-won't start up.

There are a few ways you can get the files off of this to a transfer to a new PC.
  1. Download Hiren's Boot CD and use the mini XP menu to see the files and copy them to another attached drive. On this website use the HTTP link to download the zip file.
  2. Remove the hard drive and attach it to the new PC. The new PC will see the drive and you will be able to copy the files.
  3. Boot to safe mode. Log in as Administrator and copy the files to an external device.
  • As for fixing the Windows OS, use your recovery CD's after you get the data off.

Hp dv600 will not turn on. It doesn't matter if the battery is in or if the adaptor is in, it will not turn on. I have no idea what to do or if there is anything i can do.

First thing to try, unplug the unit and remove the battery

Then hold the power button for at least 30 seconds, this will drain any power left on the motherboard.

plug the power line back in and attempt a restart. If it works you may get an error message warning you that your hibernation file is damaged. it is ok to allow the boot to continue but you will loose any unsaved files you had open.

If this doesn't work, unplug it, put the battery back in and then replug the AC adapter. look at the front left edge of the laptop and check for the AC light, looks like a lightning bolt. If it's not lit you may just have a faulty adapter, then can be replaced for about $100, with a targus or kensington universal adapter.

If the light is on and the reset doesn't work, it's likely a hardware failure in the charging circuit or motherbaord which can generally be repaired but depending on the price of the unit isn't always cost effective.

Feel free to post back and let me know if this does or doesn't work for you.
